Quick regex help please!

Hi everyone

I've created this

https://regex101.com/r/GbTLKM/1

throught help of google to parse a string with the matching output when a string contains something beginning with INT and ending in a series of numbers but I can't get it to work in the Regex tool in Alteryx

(INT|int).*[0-9]$ should find and parse INTCNMAN123 in the below string

invoice INTCNMAN123

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you

((INT|int).*[0-9]+)$

The string you want will be represented by $1 in Alteryx

The web site https://regex101.com/ is helpful to test regular expressions

Thank you for the reply - that makes sense.  It didn't quite achieve what I want but figured it out by amending it to

((INT|int).*[0-9]{3})

as I didn't want to grab anything after the first set of numbers...if I'm honest I am not sure why it works now but it does!  Regex101 website helped so thank you

The parenthesis around the entire expression will represent a group ... group 1 ..  which is $1 in Alteryx

((INT|int).*[0-9]{3})

(INT|int)   means either "INT" or "int"

.*  means any character, one or more times

[0-9]{3}   means any number 0 to 9, exactly 3 occurrences
